Nature and parks of France
The very first national park in France was the Vanoise Park, located in the French Alps. It was created in 1963, when the threat of the complete disappearance of Alpine mountain goats, living on the slopes of the mountains in the territory of the modern park, arose. In one of the two parts of the park are ski resorts, one of the most famous and popular of which is Meribel.
